I am currently a sophomore at Yale University working towards a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. I began tutoring in high school at local elementary schools and continued tutoring into my college career with older students. I am capable of tutoring subjects ranging from Algebra and Calculus to Economics, standardized tests, Statistics, and more. Tutoring is something I enjoy because I love helping students achieve their goals and maximize their potential through practice and hard work. I'm a firm believer that the best way to improve in any area of academics is through practice. Once you become accustomed to the style of question, you will begin to realize why you are making mistakes and how to avoid making them in the future. Outside of tutoring, I am an avid sports fan and video game enthusiast.

I am a veteran college chemistry professor with a Ph.D. from Yale who has taught Organic Chemistry and General Chemistry I many times. I have also taught Introductory Chemistry to students who had never had chemistry before and also a General, Organic, and Biochemistry course for health professions. I look at chemistry as a set of skills to be learned, similar to learning a sport or a musical instrument. I can show you what to do, but to really learn you need to do things yourself.

As a dedicated educator with a PhD in German Studies from Cornell University, I am passionate about nurturing student success through personalized tutoring. With over 7 years of teaching experience, I specialize in a wide array of subjects, including AP courses in Physics, English, and Calculus, as well as German language instruction. My teaching philosophy centers on collaboration and constructive feedback, fostering a supportive environment where students feel confident to express their ideas and enhance their skills. I am deeply motivated by the opportunity to inspire curiosity and a love for learning in my students, helping them not only to achieve academic goals but also to develop critical thinking and writing abilities that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

My name is Brian and I am very much looking forward to meeting and working with you all. I am a Yale educated, experienced math teacher (18 years in the classroom) that will help your student understand, appreciate and even like their particular area of math. I have been privately tutoring one on one successfully for over 20 years and get great satisfaction from the success of my students.When not teaching, I am a sports junkie that also enjoys a good book or movie.Thank you and I am looking forward to working together!Brian

I received my BA cum laude in American Studies from Yale University in 2013, and worked for the past two years as the Exhibit Content and Media Coordinator at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. My experiences have given me insight into the best methods for teaching students in an exciting and engaging way, and I am excited to put these skills to work.I love working with students to perfect their essays, digging into the fundamentals of good writing to make sure we build lasting writing skills. My passion for history and writing, my skills as an editor and writer, and my comfort working with students of all ages make me a great fit for anyone seeking tutoring in history, literature, writing, and essay editing, or standardized test prep in those areas!My specialties are in writing, editing, history, and literature. As an American Studies major at Yale, I developed excellent analytical and creative writing skills. My senior thesis in American Studies examined the visual language of race and power in Korean war photography. Outside the classroom, I served as editor-in-chief of The Bullblog, Yale???s daily campus blog. I also served as a teacher in the Hillel Children???s School, a Jewish learning program for students aged K-8. In my role as classroom teacher, I was in charge of lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching Hebrew and Judaic studies to classes of middle school students.An important part of the mission at Varsity Tutors is working with students to engage them in learning. Similarly, my job at the EMK Institute was to frame public policy in a way that inspired people to become more civically engaged. As the Institute???s Exhibit Content and Media Coordinator, I was a hands-on developer of the Institute???s Senate Immersion Module program, in which students craft mock legislation in a full-scale replica of the Senate chamber. I worked alongside teachers to design educational programs, lesson plans, and curriculum that effectively communicated content to students and teachers. I also worked directly with middle and high school students, teaching them historical lessons and engaging them in debates on historical topics related to the United States Senate. I also honed my communication and classroom skills by training the first class of volunteer docents for the museum. It was my job to produce the 100-page training manual and to teach all of the historical content to the new tour guides. My experience at the EMK Institute gave me experience in a cutting-edge educational setting and prepared me for tutoring, particularly for middle and high school students.Please contact me with any further questions!

Hello! My name is Hazel, and I'm a rising sophomore at Yale University majoring in Psychology while pursuing certificates in Spanish and Education Studies. I know firsthand that the college application process can feel confusing, overwhelming, and stressful, and I'm here to help make it more manageable. As a recent high school graduate and a Student Ambassador for Yale Admissions, I have an in-depth understanding of the admissions process and what makes an application stand out. Because I was in your shoes not long ago, I know how challenging it can be to tell your story in a way that feels both authentic and compelling. I've worked with students on brainstorming, drafting, and refining their college application essays, and students I've mentored have gone on to earn admission to universities including Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Northwestern, and many other highly selective schools. While every admissions decision depends on a variety of factors, my goal is always to help students present the strongest, most genuine version of themselves. Whether you need help brainstorming essay ideas, polishing your writing, devising extracurricular activities descriptions, building a college list, or preparing for an interview, I'm committed to providing personalized support every step of the way. I'd love to help you tell your story with confidence and create an application you're proud to submit.

I love getting others interested in science and helping students reach their potential. I am very motivated to help others reach their academic goals. I am currently a master's student studying Immunology, but I have a background in general biology and chemistry, too, with a heavy emphasis on molecular biology and genetics.

I am an undergraduate student at Yale University. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology along with a certificate of advanced language in Spanish. I currently do research studying changes in stem cells and gene expression during different planarian physiological processes. I am extremely interested in biochemical and biophysical processes, closely tied to my interest in STEM courses and education. I have the most experience tutoring math, science, and Spanish, using my personal and current education with feedback from previous students to refine my approach. In high school I started a student success center during covid to provide free online tutoring, providing tutors in all subjects during set hours of the week. I work hard to create a comfortable environment to reduce the stresses and pressures of tutoring, not only allowing me to enhance my student's education but do so in a way that is most suited to their learning styles. I have gone through the college application process recently and would love to share my knowledge of standardized testing (study tips, general questions, and subject-specific tutoring), college preparation, and the application process. Outside of the classroom, I dance for Sabrosura (Yale's Premier Latin Dance team), explore what borders campus on walks and hikes, and love trying new foods and experiences.

I am a graduate of Duke University (class of 2017), where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and Religious Studies with a minor in Economics. I am also a graduate of Yale University (class of 2019), where I received my Master of Arts in Religious Studies with a focus on ancient history. Since graduation, I have worked in the computer software space and as a tutor for over 6 years (both in person and virtually). I have tutoring experience with all grade levels, including undergraduates, in subjects ranging from english and essay writing to ACT/SAT test prep. I love working with students of all ages and personalizing my teaching style to create the most positive and productive learning environment.

I am currently a PhD candidate completing my doctorate at Yale University in the Medieval Studies department and has previously obtained masters degrees in English Literature and Medieval Studies from Yale, The University of Georgia, and the University of Glasgow. An Atlanta native, I returned from New Haven to live and work in Georgia while I finish the final stages of his dissertation. Over the course of my studies, I have taught undergraduate literature and history as an instructor at Yale, the University of Georgia, Oxford University, the University of Glasgow, the University of Connecticut, and Wesleyan College (Macon, Georgia). At the same time, I have worked as a teacher and tutor for the LSAT, GMAT, and GRE for over thirteen years. I am one of two authors of the all-new revision of Barrons GMAT guide and Barrons Passkey to the GMAT, and have previously written content for Kaplan, Parliament Tutors, and Success Prep. Because of my lengthy experience, I am intimately familiar with the methods and principles used by the major test preparation companies and have developed a variety of methods of his own. I take a different approach from the major national test prep companies in that I recognize that each student is different and that no single method is best for all test-takers. Come test day, the most successful students will be those who have found ways to combine their own native strengths with an additional complement of of time-tested techniques learned through rigorous study. I enjoy helping my students find the approach that will allow them to meet confidently their future educational goals. I live in midtown Atlanta, near Emory, with my brother and a sulky, spoiled hound dog.

Hello! My name is Charlie Romano and I am passionate about learning and spreading that love of learning to others.

My name is Max - I'm a senior at Yale College where I study Economics. I'm originally from Millburn, NJ.This year, I'm taking two semesters off from school to sing and travel the entire world with the Yale Whiffenpoofs, America's oldest collegiate a cappella singing group.Apart from singing, I'm is passionate about education, particularly in helping high school students achieve their academic goals as they work their way towards college. I volunteer in New Haven as a math teacher and coach at a public middle school (my team of 7th graders just won the 2016 New Haven regional championship!), and I've been tutoring middle and high school students for over 7 years.On top of all of that, I'm an aspiring professional in the business world - this past summer I worked at an internship in financial consulting (banking advisory & analytics), and have previously held internship positions in human capital consulting & private equity, as well as in patent law.My interests are widely varied and eclectic - pro baseball (Go Mets!), Broadway theater, American public policy & politics, global affairs, and public economics.

As someone who has experienced the dynamics of both the undergraduate and medical school admissions process, I feel that strong preparation for entrance examinations greatly increases one's chances of personal and academic success---which is why I am so very interested in working with you through Varsity Tutors!I currently have a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a Bachelor of Arts degree in African Studies from Yale University. I deferred admission to gain relevant work experience before starting medical school at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine as an MD/MPH candidate student. My experience in the biological sciences includes extensive biology research in the fields of behavioral neuroscience and infectious disease. I successfully completed all required courses for admission into medical school during the course of my undergraduate education, and I have extensive Math, Science, and Verbal Reasoning tutoring experience working with high school students in the New Haven Public School system. While working in local public high schools, I have successfully tutored students both for their own personal gain and for increased performance on college entrance examinations--such as the SAT and ACT.My personal strengths include the ability to work productively in a fast-paced work environment, along with numerous experiences in tutoring, lesson/report preparation, and data analysis. Past positions in biomedical research and administration have also necessitated excellent verbal and oral communication skills, specifically within team settings. In addition, because I have interacted with many types of students for the past several years through tutoring/mentorship, my teaching styles are versatile and adaptable to each and every student.I am truly dedicated to helping my students reach their goals and thus invest much of my time and energy into ensuring my students' academic and personal success. I truly believe that anyone can succeed if given the proper steps!Although I love math and science, in my spare time I love to play sports competitively. I played club basketball throughout college and was heavily involved in my schools intramural sports program. I also love R&B music and jamming with friends in my spare time.

I'm a senior at Yale University double majoring in Economics and Computer Science with 6+ years of K-12 tutoring experience. I support students in K-12 Math, SAT Math, Introductory Computer Science, and College Essay Writing / Editing. As a former competitive athlete in synchronized figure skating, I bring patience, discipline, and tailored encouragement to every session.

I offer tutoring for a wide variety of subjects, including normal paced and 'crash course paced' prep for standardized tests (GMAT/GRE/SAT/ACT). I scored a 750 myself on the GMAT, graduated magna cum laude with a BSc. in Visual Communication and recently received my MBA from Yale. I have tutored students for 3+ years in various subjects including math, statistics, probability, and test prep. I also offer career development counseling - specifically Resume Reviews for people looking to apply to universities or looking to enter the job market.I'm passionate about tutoring because it helped me constantly throughout my schooling and also really helped boost my confidence. My goal with any student is to always make sure they're thorough in all basic concepts before before diving into any classroom/homework problems or test strategies, and I'd love to help you with any of the subjects listed on my profile!

Hi! My name is Veronica, and I'm a recent Yale graduate with experience tutoring students in writing, editing, and application essays. Before transferring to Yale, I worked as a writing tutor at the University of Connecticut, where I supported undergraduate students through every stage of the writing process, from brainstorming ideas to strengthening structure, clarity, and confidence in their work. I especially enjoy helping students with personal statements because I know how intimidating it can feel to write about yourself in a meaningful and authentic way. My goal is to help students recognize the value in their own experiences and communicate them clearly while maintaining their unique voice. My tutoring style is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each student's needs. I aim to create a comfortable environment where you can ask questions, develop confidence, and grow as a writer. Outside of tutoring, I work in marketing and communications at Yale, where strong storytelling and clear communication are central to my work every day. I'm passionate about helping students feel more confident in their writing and excited to support them throughout the college essay process!

I am a graduate of Yale University. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology and two advanced language certificates in Spanish and Italian. A major focus of mine, throughout my undergraduate career and to the present, is to create opportunities to empower and educate people by making them aware of resources available to them and leading efforts to make them more accessible. Through the power of teaching, interpreting, translating and advising I've been able to help individuals make use of every resource available to them and equip them with the tools needed to become a source of instruction and support for others. While I enjoy anything from history to philosophy, my true passion lies in biology, medicine and foreign languages. I find that these subjects compliment each other when coupled together. Through the simplification of language and concepts and the ability to make such content available to more people in their own language it is possible to create a more equitable and welcoming environment in fields that can be intimidating for many people. I aspire to follow a similar philosophy while connecting with students by creating a welcoming atmosphere and attending to their specific needs and goals so that their success and ability to help themselves and be resourceful extends long beyond our tutoring session and in many areas of their life. I find helping others and making their journey a little easier than mine to be very fulfilling and I cannot think of a better way to pave my way to my eventual goal of becoming a cardiologist. There is always something new to learn and finding the right approach is key because we all operate differently but it is possible to overcome obstacles and gain a deeper appreciation for a subject with the right instruction and approach to learning. One of my favorite things to do is to learn from others whether that's a random person at my local coffee shop or a citizen of a different state or country when I have the opportunity to travel. I also like reading (book suggestions are always appreciated), running, lifting, volunteering and I don't mind occasionally losing some sleep to go see my favorite artists play in concerts.

I am part of Varsity Tutors because it provides me a platform to convey my knowledge and passion for all the subjects that I tutor to younger students. I am committed to providing an educational, productive, and comfortable experience for all students using these services. I consider it my responsibility to offer additional insight and appreciation for all that math and physics have to offer, along with the merits and importance of a strong secondary education!

I recently graduated from Yale. I started a tutoring business in high school, and I've been tutoring students for 5 years now. I've worked with students at all different levels, from 2nd grade reading to 12th grade physics. Most of my students were in junior high or high school, and I focused especially on math and English. I also have experience helping with standardized test prep: I'm a national merit scholar, and I'm happy to work on ACT, SAT, SAT II or PSAT preparation.

I graduated Yale University with a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Economics and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Honors in Distinction for Excellence in the Major. At Yale, I was the Editor-in-Chief of the Yale Journal of Medicine and Law and was also active in student government and community service groups.I graduated high school with a 4.0 unweighted GPA and ranked 8th out of 695 students. I scored 5 on all 10 APs I took (US History, World History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, C, Calculus BC, Statistics, English Language and Composition, English Literature, and Computer Science). In high school, I was president of the debate team and on student council all 4 years.Currently, I am working toward an MD at Stanford University. I am happy to help with MCAT, SAT, SAT subject, AP test prep, and general academic subjects. Throughout my 8 years of experiencing tutoring middle school and high school students, I aim to help students raise their test scores through targeting points of weakness and developing the tools to conquer those areas. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, listening to music, traveling, and reading.

Hello! My name is Sanoja, and I live in Brooklyn, NY. I am a graduate of Yale University, where I studied Political Science with Urban Studies, wrote and edited for a monthly magazine, and worked at the Yale University Art Gallery. I spent the last year as a Fulbright Teaching Fellow in Bogota, Colombia.I am passionate about education, politics, history, and writing. I have extensive experience tutoring high school math, high school and college writing, and application essay writing. I love to learn, and I love to teach. Through Varsity Tutors, I am excited to work with students of all ages and backgrounds!

I am a recent Yale graduate with a B.S in chemical engineering. I have over 5 years of experience tutoring a wide range of subjects, and I am very passionate about math and science. My favorite part of tutoring is instilling confidence into students and making them feel that they can understand and enjoy a subject.

As an English/Literature and History tutor, I strive to provide my students with the skills to truly understand the subject material, as well as the confidence level and understand to tackle the most difficult of questions with ease. My favorite subject to tutor is writing. I find that a large portion of students struggle with feeling that they aren't very skilled at writing. I firmly believe that is untrue, and that everyone has their own unique style and skillset to bring to the table. My goal is to discover that style, and make sure they have fun doing it.

There's nothing quite like that moment when a student's face lights up with understanding. Whether it's finally grasping a challenging calculus concept, conquering chemistry equations, or crafting the perfect college essay, I've had the privilege of witnessing countless "aha!" moments throughout my tutoring journey. What drives me as an educator is understanding that learning isn't one-size-fits-all. Every student has unique strengths and learning styles. My role isn't just to teach content - it's to discover how each student learns best and build their confidence alongside their knowledge. Many students come to me feeling overwhelmed, but I help them see that math and science aren't mysterious - they're puzzles waiting to be solved. I provide comprehensive tutoring across all levels of high school mathematics - from foundational algebra through advanced calculus and statistics. In the sciences, I work with students in biology, chemistry, and physics, connecting classroom concepts to real-world applications that make learning engaging and memorable. For college preparation, I offer SAT and ACT test prep that focuses on both content mastery and strategic test-taking skills. I also provide essay editing and writing support throughout the college application process, helping students craft compelling narratives that authentically showcase their personality and aspirations. What sets my tutoring apart is my genuine investment in each student's success. I don't just help with homework - I help students develop critical thinking skills, study strategies, and the confidence to tackle new challenges independently. I maintain regular communication with parents and always hold high expectations because I know students are capable of meeting them. Ready to unlock your potential? Let's work together to achieve your academic goals - one concept, one problem, and one success at a time. When I'm not tutoring, you'll find me experimenting in the kitchen, creating my own recipes and perfecting everything from weeknight dinners to elaborate desserts. There's something incredibly satisfying about the precision of baking that mirrors the logical thinking I love about math and science. I'm also passionate about staying active - whether I'm out on a morning run, hitting the hiking trails, or sweating it out in group fitness classes at the gym. I'm actually looking forward to diving into CrossFit next, always up for a new challenge!

My name is Sam, and I recently graduated from Yale University with a BA in History. I really enjoy helping people learn. Teaching is great, and I'm here to help!

I am a student at Yale University and am currently planning on majoring in neuroscience with concentrations in the history of medicine and public health. I tutored a variety of subjects in high school with students K-12. I am most passionate about science and math, but I also have a strong background in reading and writing courses. I am very passionate about education and believe that it is critical to a student's discipline and development of many other life skills. In my spare time, I enjoy running, traveling, baking, and listening to all genres of music.

My name is Zosia Caes and I am recent graduate of Yale University. After an intensive application cycle and four years of college, I hope to be able to impart to others the wisdom I have learned. I have four years of freelance tutoring experience in college admissions and the MCAT. Overall, tutoring is a way that I can support the students who will be in my shoes. Everyone deserves to unlock their full potential, and I can't wait to be a part of that! I love getting to know new people and personalizing education to each specific situation. My teaching style is all about tailoring and individualizing.

Eight years ago, I founded a reading and writing enrichment program for students in my hometown and quickly fell in love with the tutoring experience. Helping students reach their full potential -- and beyond -- is deeply rewarding, and I enjoyed getting to know my students and developing individualized plans to maximize their strengths.Since then, I've tutored high school and college students both in person and online in subjects like academic writing, English and literature, and standardized test prep. And while reading and writing are my specialties, I've also tutored extensively in Spanish, logic, philosophy, psychology, political science, and more.In addition to my academic tutoring work, I'm passionate about guiding high schoolers through the college application process. The admissions process is probably one of the most confusing, anxiety-inducing experiences you'll have in high school, but I'm full of ideas for making the entire process as successful and stress-free as possible. I've successfully guided many students through every stage of admissions -- from figuring out where to apply and then staying organized and on-track, to "packaging" themselves and producing a perfect personal statement -- and I love witnessing them achieve their admissions dreams.

I'm an elementary school teacher at a classical school outside of Boston. I graduated from Yale last year with a B.S. in psychology. As a student I worked as an undergraduate research assistant in a cognitive neuroscience lab, studied in Paris, debated with the Yale Political Union, and took part in numerous off-campus mentoring and counseling activities. In many ways I am still a student, always trying to grow as a person and in my profession. My favorite subject to teach is math, because there are often many different ways to approach any one problem - the fun is in finding out what works for you!

I have a JD and an LLM from Cornell Law School, and a BA in History from Yale. In the past I've worked as a law clerk at the Arizona Supreme Court and as a corporate attorney, but, for the past 3 years, have worked in technology startups. I'm currently the co-founder of a software-as-a-service company based in NYC. I left law to pursue my passion for technology and I've learned a tremendous amount by working in the tech startup space.I've enjoyed tutoring for many years, including editing essays, papers, and articles, and tutoring students in subjects such as physics, chemistry, math, English, and writing skills. I've also enjoyed helping students prepare for the college or grad school application process. As the recipient of tutoring myself as a high school student, I know firsthand the value that dedicated, passionate, and informed tutors can bring to students. I consider much of my academic success to be the result of great tutoring I've received in the past.I've enjoyed tutoring recently because it's a welcomed respite from the world of startups, and I love seeing students "click" when they've gotten past a mental roadblock, or discovered they could do something they didn't know they could.Among other things, I play the bagpipes, and enjoy reading and traveling. I've traveled to almost all 50 US states, and have been to over 20 different countries. I hope to be in touch soon!

I graduated from Yale University in May 2017 majoring in political science with a concentration in political economy. I am currently working toward my CPA and will pursue an MBA to foster and grow my career in financial consulting.I have several years of experience tutoring students from 6th grade to high school seniors in various settings: classroom, groups, and one-on-one. I tutor subjects including elementary and middle school Math, English, Spanish; high school SAT II Subject Tests, APs, and the SAT for topics including Spanish, World History, U.S. History, European History, Math (various levels from Algebra, Geometry, Calculus), and others.As a recent college graduate entering the workforce, I have learned the value of a strong educational foundation. I strive to inspire my students to learn not only during our tutoring sessions or in the classroom, but also outside their comfort zone on subjects that may prove challenging. I have learned the value of hard work and dedication in my studies and hope to pass on these values to the students I tutor.Outside of academia, I play club soccer, snowboard, and backpack across the country. I enjoy outdoor activities and fitness outside of work. I work well with others and enjoy the process of teaching students and enriching their educational experience.

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.In terms of tutoring style, I like use examples and explanations, practice problems, short-term and long-term scheduling, and positive feedback to achieve results with my students. I find real-world examples are often useful in explaining difficult concepts and restoring interest in a subject. At times I too struggled with science and know how important it is to stay motivated in order to succeed.In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering, listening to and performing music (jazz and classical/choral), swimming, and hip-hop dance.

I believe that the most meaningful learning comes out of excitement, and that it is a teacher's job to find what is exciting for each student. Cultivating an environment where students are excited--not just about the material and new perspectives it brings, but also about the process of learning together--is essential. I strive to create an environment where the student feels known, valued, respected, and capable--emboldened to take risks, meet challenges, and share their thoughts with confidence. Education is fundamentally a partnership between student and teacher, and I will endeavor to help my students tap into their natural curiosity, get excited about their discoveries, and put themselves in a position to show and grow their strengths.

As a passionate educator with over 5 years of tutoring experience, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive academically. I hold a PhD in History of American Civilization from Harvard University, complemented by a Master's in History and another in the History of Christianity from Yale University. My expertise spans a range of subjects, including AP U.S. Government & Politics, AP World History, and ACT English, which allows me to connect with students from seventh grade to graduate level. I believe in a student-centered approach that encourages critical thinking and engagement with complex ideas, drawing on my background in social sciences and humanities. My motivation for tutoring stems from a deep commitment to helping students navigate their educational journeys and discover their potential. Outside of teaching, I enjoy exploring art history and engaging with diverse cultures, which enriches my teaching methodology and enhances my students' learning experiences.

Hello! I am a senior at Yale studyung Neuroscience and History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health. I am a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and a recipient of the IB Diploma. My academic background includes extensive experience in rigorous college level classes at the IB and Advanced Placement (AP) level. As a member of my school's math honor society, Mu Alpha Theta, I have volunteered my time at a local middle school to tutor students in different math levels from pre-Algebra to Geometry. I also absolutely love languages. Aside from being a native Spanish speaker, I have been studying Italian for the last four years and feel confident tutoring in these subjects. Another subject I enjoy tutoring is Standardized Testing, where I help high school students prepare for exams like the SAT, PSAT, and ACT. Preparing for these exams is crucial in order to achieve a good score, and I always make sure that my students are comfortable with both the format and the material on each exam. As a student, I know how important tutoring is, not only to improve grades but also to gain a better understanding of the material. Whenever I dedicate time to tutoring, I try to keep things engaging and fun. Motivation is definitely a key to success, and I believe that with the right encouragement and guidance any student can achieve their goals.

I recently graduated from Yale, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English. In college, I edited a weekly newspaper and a monthly magazine, and I've had multiple jobs in the publishing industry. All of this is to say that I love words! I tutor in Reading and Writing for the PSAT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and I help with Reading and Writing homework. I also provide guidance and editing help on college essays.The tutor I had in high school made studying (even for standardized tests!) interesting and fun for me, and I want to work with students to develop skills in a way that makes them feel happy and accomplished. I want students to feel motivated, but not stressed!
